Although I am generally considered a tennis player, what most people don't know about me is that I am an avid ultimate frisbee player. I played a lot over the last few years sort of just leisurely, and increasingly often since this past summer. My best friends just created the AHS Ultimate Frisbee Club! So now we have a competetive team for the high school and we have been practicing diligently and we are pumped to play Huffman an Kingwood's teams. A lot of people don't know how to play ultimate frisbee, well. Ultimate is a sport played with a 175 gram flying disc. The object of the game is to score points by passing the disc to a player in the opposing end zone, similar to an end zone in American football or rugby. Players may not run with the disc, and may only move one foot (pivot) while holding the disc. So it involves
a lot of running and teamwork. It is a challenging and fun sport. It becomes very competitive and violent sometimes. It probably is perceived as a "man's sport".... well, it is. I am the only girl on the ultimate frisbee team. Most girls either don't have any desire to play, or just aren't good! Not to toot my own horn or anything, but I am actually better than a lot of the guys on the team! It makes me feel good to know that I'm not some althetic inferior to all the boys, I'm used to being the only girl... I've sort of always been one fo the guys! But not in a weird way. I like to look pretty and wear makeup and I think boys are cute, but I also like to play and get dirty and have fun, which is what I do in UFC!
